1994 Map of Chimayo
USGS Topo · Published 1998About this map
The Santa Cruz Grant and Sebastian Martin Grant territories converge here, revealing a landscape defined by traditional land use and drainage patterns in northern New Mexico. The Santa Cruz River and Rio Chiquito support the settlements of Chimayo and Los Pachecos, where the Santa Cruz Ditch suggests the intricate irrigation history of the valley. To the north, the terrain rises into the Carson National Forest, characterized by numerous deeply carved canyons such as Cañada Ancha and Cañada del Pueblo. Evidence of long-standing occupation is found at the Pueblo Ruins, while local spiritual life is centered at the Capilla de Santa Rita. The geography is further marked by high points like the Mesa de la Ceja and small outposts such as El Llanito Blanco, illustrating the enduring nature of these highland communities.
